Disseminating cancer cells can proliferate or become dormant depending on the microenvironment and factors such as the ERK/p38 ratio. Dormancy is a stage in cancer progression where the cells cease dividing but survive in a quiescent state while waiting for appropriate environmental conditions to begin proliferation again. [ 1 ]
There are many types of ticks in the U.S., and many of them can spread multiple pathogens that cause illness in humans. Here are some of the tick species that experts worry most about from a ...
Humans are not the preferred natural host, but the adult ticks, containing the bacterium known to cause Lyme disease, can attach to humans and allow for transmission of the bacterium. [ 5 ] Ticks are found around the world, with suggestions that climate change and globalization of travel and commerce may be broadening their scope of residence.
The occurrence of ticks and tick-borne illnesses in humans is increasing. [7] Tick populations are spreading into new areas, in part due to climate change . [ 8 ] [ 9 ] Tick populations are also affected by changes in the populations of their hosts (e.g. deer, cattle, mice, lizards) and those hosts' predators (e.g. foxes).
Dermacentor variabilis, also known as the American dog tick or wood tick, is a species of tick that is known to carry bacteria responsible for several diseases in humans, including Rocky Mountain spotted fever and tularemia (Francisella tularensis). It is one of the best-known hard ticks. Diseases are spread when it sucks blood from the host.

Their slow metabolism during their dormant periods enables them to go prolonged durations between meals. [28] Even after 18 weeks of starvation, they can endure repeated two-day bouts of dehydration followed by rehydration, but their survivability against dehydration drops rapidly after 36 weeks of starvation. [ 29 ]
Biological vector transmission is through ticks that carry a blood parasite able to cause anaplasmosis. The most common Anaplasmosis-causing tick is Ixodes scapularis, also known as the black-legged tick or the deer tick. [9] [10] Ticks who contain species of many different Anaplasma species can transmit this disease through a bite. The blood ...
